WEATHER POLICY

The Dixboro Farmers Market has always been a rain or shine market. We have made a commitment to our customers to be open the days and hours we have published. And our vendors have worked many long hours and traveled distances to serve their customers. Our loyal customers reciprocate by coming prepared with their rain coats and umbrellas to shop and enjoy the Market!

If thunderstorms, tornado warning/watch, or severe and consistent rain occurs prior to the opening of the Market and there is reason to believe the threat will persist through much of the Market hours, the Market opening may be delayed, or cancelled altogether, if the forecast is ominous. If we need to cancel the Market prior opening it will happen by 12 noon on that market Friday.

If severe weather conditions develop after the Market has opened, customers, vendors and volunteers are expected to move to a safe place until the weather has passed. In most cases the safest place will be in their vehicles. For customers who have walked or biked to the Market, the place of shelter is the Dixboro Church. Once the weather has passed, a determination will be made about resuming normal Market operations for the remainder of the Market day.

In all cases, if the Market were to close or be delayed, a notification would be posted on our website, and communications would go out on Facebook.
